A larger number of copies of a single edition of a paper may have been issued and even dis- tributed in a leg never before have all the voters of a great S received a cooy of any one edition of any one paper. In that respect the circulation of the “New Era’ Carwis to be unique and will afford an unrivalea means timate way, but for California advertising. It must not be supposed, however, that the circulation is to be contined to Caiifornia, or even to the Pacific Coast. One of the main objects to be accomplished by the publication is that of showing to the world the conditions of California at the beginning of this new epoch of prosperity. We desire all peo- ple at home to know and understand these conditions, in order that they may take courage and go forward with their enter- prises, and we also desire that the capitalists and home-seekers of other States and nations may know them, in order that we may have an inflow of the capital and population needed to build up our glorious commonwealth and develop its won- derful resources. As has been announced the edition is not designed to be a mere holiday advertising number, which custom has rendered stale at this season. It is to be a celebration of the entrance of Tre CALL into its magnificent new home in the Claus Spreckeis Building and the beginning in California of a period destined to work something like a revolution 1n the industries and com- merce of the people. We are at the dawn of the era of com- petitive railroads, as well as of revived industry. A thousand bright prospects glow for our people, and THE CALL in its New Era edition will depict them all. If the friends of General Marmaduke have a real regard for that gentleman they will endeavor to show him tne beauty and utility of keeping his mouth shut by other means than patting his own foot in it. The general talks as though an understand- ing not particalarly sound in the first place had been further impaired by about three too many drinks. He fought for the South: in the old days and other good men did the same thing. Nobody blames them for it. But the res of the men have the grece toknow that the war is over. Itis worthy of note that S:-nators Pettigrew and Dubois are not in favor of the annexation of Hawaii. They have been to the islands, and naturally come back convinced that there is o merit in taking the possessions of a peaceful people, who have aiready been preyed upon, and whose despoilers stand ready to hand over oot that they are afraid they cannot retain much longer. accessory after the fact. There is rothing impressive in official denunciation of nickel-in-the-slot machines as gambiing devices. Of course they are nothing else, and ail their popularity is due to the fact that they are gambling devices; for the world loves to gam ble, and about the scant chance of getting something for nothing there lingers a charm that mere human sirength does not seem able 10 resist. Yellow jonrnalism is now engaged in writing the President’s message to Congress. As the President is engaged similarly the pubtic will be able to make its own choice, and it is believed that the McKinley effort will be generally recognized as the official one of the pair.

ROM statements made by him in an interview published Fin another column it will be seen that the mind of Senator Perkins, after long labor, has given birth toa decision on the Hawaiian question. The decision is in the nature of twins, The first born of the two is the Senator’s conviction thatannex- ation is morally and rolitically wrong ; the second born of the same birth is a determination to vote for it. The ethics involved in a decision to vote for a measure the voter believes to be wrong are so peculiar to the Senator that we shall not undertake to discuss them in contrast with the established standards of morality and honor. Every man is entitled to indulge in some originality, and if Senator Perkins chooses to be an original in political morals we shall not dis- pute his choice, further than to say that if he intends to prac- tice that sort of thing as a habit he should resign his office. i THere are some things permissible in private that are inexcus- ble in public. x Senator Perkins’ argument is that if the people favor any particular course every Senator must vote for that course, no matter how inexpedient and Injurious to public welfare it may be. When the country went Democratic and elected Cleve- land all Republicans in the Senate as well as all Democrats, according to the Perkins idea, should have voted for the Wil son bill and free trade, and when McKinley was elected all Democrats should have voted for protection. Personal con™ victions, political principles, the welfare of the republic count for nothing. A Senator isa servantof the people; he must vote with the majority. Even more peculiar than his idea of Senatorial duty is or Perkins’ idea of the source from which to learn what the people demand. He says nearly all the papers in the country are in favor of annexation, that the newspapers represent the people, and therefors he will vote for it. This means that a Senator must obey the newspapers. He must vowe according to the notion of the men who are going to write him up. Wise or unwise, right or wrong, good or evil, a Senator is bound to follow the press, accepting it as the voice of the pzople, and count his parsonal convictions as of no value whatever. The most extraordinary feature of the Senator’s peculiar decision, however, is his idea of what portion of the press he should follow. He was wrong in point of fact as well as in point of grammar when he said: *‘Nearly all the newspapers of the country are in favor of it with the exception of only one, and that is THE CALL.” We publish this morning a large array of extracts from newspapers of all parts of the Union denouncing the annexation scheme, and if we had space at our disposal could easily have published as iaany more. These effectually dispose of the assertionof Senator Perkins that THE CALL alene is fighting for what he regards to be the right, and if he reads them carefully he may find reason to reconsider his determination to vote for annexation and let that one of his twin decisions die still-born. Se! The contrast between the papers that oppose annexation and those that support the scheme is marked. The opposition is made up of conservative journals representing the best ele- ments of all classes of the people, and their arguments are based upon reasons drawn from considerations of national honor, public welfare, justice to a weak people and a due regard for the prosperity of American labor. The supporters of the scheme on the other hand are sensational fake papers, erratic jingos or subsidized organs of men who wish to grow rich on ceoliz labor at the expense of the white workers of the country. He that surrenders his convictions to obey such orgzns in opposition to the better press of the country is buta servant of yellow journalism. Senator Perkins shows by his statements that he well | understands the evils sure to result irom annexation. He| naticn, that it wiil expose California industry to the unchecked compensate these injuries. Yet he says he will vote for it or resizn. Surely we may hope that his conscience will yet teach him that in such an alternative it will be better for him and more pleasing to California ii he chooses resignation. AMERICA’S RESFONSIBILITY. UR responsibility to the weak people of the world in an- O nexing Hawaii stould not be lost sight of. Frantic ¢fforis have been made by the Dole jobbers and their supporters in this country to stir up foreign choler acainst us. They bave bitten their thumbs at Japan, at Eng- land and Germany, but without success. Japan dignifiedly | protested against Dole spitting on treaty obligations, and Eng- land, Germany and rrar bave held an attitude of pleased expectancy. They are in the businessof trampling on the weak | and stealing the sovereignty of others themselves. France is at it with a high and bloody hand in unbappy Madagascar. England is a hardened sinner in that direction and Germany is desirous of stealing 8amoa, Up to this time the Unitea Stafes has been the only power te which the weak could appeal. Believing that we believed our own declaration that Governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, Hungary argued her canse to us against Austria; Greece from the time of Ypsilanti has appealed to us against the Turk, and when Fitz Greena Halleck gave to literature that noble lyric of liberty, “Bozzaris,” its force was in the consistency of our people and their Govern- ment and the sincerity of our professions in favor of the rights of man. Ireland hbas turned her tear-stained face to us for more than a century and the memory of Emmet and of Theo- bald Wolfe Tone has been honorably celevrated under the shelter of the stars and stripes. But now it is proposed 10 appear in a new role as a com- petitor of the robber nations, as a despoiler of the weak, and as is always the case » hen such changes come over men or na- tions we propose to appear in a more wicked and vicious tran- saction than has disgraced any of our comrades in tne trade o stealing countries, Well may they all look on complacently and keep]hands off while we make the plunge into their company. But when we do it the light is out for the weak and worthy of the world. Our protests against their spoliation wili excite the world’s laughter. With such an act of immorality to stain our escutcheon we must keep silent while tie other nations make foray among the defenseless. ‘What right have we to protest against Spain holding Cuba against the consent of a majority of her people if we seize Hawaii against the consent of 98 per cent of her people? If we [ persist in botb policies Spain should have the sympathy and alliance of the other nations against us. There should be honor among thieves when steaiingcountries is the fashion for all nations, and our attitude toward the power of Spain and Cuba would be conspicuously dishonorable toward our pirate part- ners. For having jabb d a soldier with hissword, and having had him drageed by a rope, thedispiay bsing most brutal, Captain Lovering of the army must experience a reprimand. A repri- mand is not a fearful thinz to a brave man. Many have sur- vived the ordeal and seemed to be about as happy as before. In fact the reprimand is first cousin to the censure that coroner's juries are in the habit of bestowing upon the Southern Pacific after it has indulged in slaughter. And the Southern Pacific acts as though it actually enjoyed the whole business. There is a scientist somewhere who claims to be able to teach the giggling girl now to lanzh vroperly. Science has made wonderful strides, and perhaps it can do even this, yet information that the giggling girl can be taught anything will be received with a Jack of faith nothing short of actual skepti- cism.

E are enabled this morning to extend our heartiest con- \N gratulations to the fifteen gentlemen who have been nominated for charter Freeholders by the regular politi- cai parties. Nothing short of an earthquake or a tidal wave can now prevent their triumphal election, and those calami- ties could not prevent it were it not for the fact that an earth- quake or a tidal wave in San Francisco would more than likely render the further use of a charter unnecessary. We congratulate the fifteen gentlemen referred to because for once the two corporation organs of this city, the Eraminer and the Evening Pust, are unanimously of the opinion that their | nomination is a plot of the political bosses to get control of the This assures their success at the polis by an ap- palling majority. Both the Ezaminer and the Post generally work for the cor- porations and bosses in the disguise of crabs. Knowing that the public is aware of their business connection with the Southern Pacific and other associated villainies, and that not a word which either prints is believed, one violently opposes men and measures for the purpose of carrying them, while the other advocates men and measures for the purpose of defeating them. In this way the corporations and their alli ihe bosses, carry on their nefarious work in San Francisco. Their crab newspapers, by moving wrong end foremost, delude the people as to the real condition of their minds and the real de- sires of their managers, and thus men are elected and defeated and measures are carried and rejected, when, if the truth were known, an entirely opposite result would bs observed. We do not pretend to understand why these two hoary- given their regular game away. haps there a confusion of ‘‘orders,” Perhaps the Post’s orders have got into the Ezaminer office, or vice versa. Perhaps one editor is absent and in the confusion *‘the staff’” has misconstrued his instructions. Perhaps there is a d agreement in the corporation camp on the charter question. Perhaps one sheet has been dropped from the payro!l and is becoming temporarily cantankerous. Perhaps—but why con: tinue this fruitiess speculation ¢ We do not know, nor can we fin¢ ont why, these two sturdy corvoration manipulators have abandoned their perfunctory quarreling and agreed that the fifteen Freeholders nominated by the regular parties are the product of a ‘‘boss conspiracy.” The only fact in the matter of importance to the public is that the Freeholders of the regular parties are to be con- gratulated on ihe bright and cheerful prospect before them. With the Ezaminer and Post against them they cannot fail to win with the fury of a hurricane. We shall not ke surprisea if their selection is unanimou.. Nothing can stand before the tremendous wave of public opinion which is certain to uprise against an agreement between these two furlive cor- poration instruments. All along it has seemed (o us that unless something were done to show the people that the non-partisan Freeholders are really the better candidates a few people might bv mistake vote against them. But now everything is fair sailing, The mask is off. The various County Committees and the respect- able press may go to sleep or attend to other business.
